TableCheckpoint - aqBin file type

Hi.



I am trying to extract value from a table Checkpoint to let me update it without using TestComplete. When a column name changes, there is no solution than going throug the test sequence and manual recreate the table checkpoint. This is pretty annoying.



So far, I am stuck with an aqBin file, the actual tcTbl file.



Could you give me a solution to read the actual content of a table checkpoint without using TestComplete ?



Regards.



Guillaume.

    I don't know about how to read the format of the table, but objects can be easily updated using checkpoint functionality.



    First, make sure that necessary options are checked in the Tools - Options - Engines - Stores (in your case Update table should be checked).



    Second, check Update checkbox next to the table you want to update in the Stores item.



    Now run your script and it will update stored values instaed of verifying them.



    Don't forget to uncheck these options back then!



    Is it what you need?

    Hi Gennadyi.



    Thanks for the answer but this is not what i am looking for.



    TestComplete will not update table checkpoint data as a column used in the checkpoint no longer exists... The name changed and I would like to rename it without executing my test.



    Thus, I am looking for a way to edit (or at least) understand how data is actually store within the aqBin file.

    Hi !



    I am still interested in a solution for this problem.

    For instance, what could be done to solve this Table Checkpoint failed message  : 




    Update the "SC_020_040" checkpoint.


    Unable to find the "Label" column.



    Since the Label column does not exist, TestComplete won't be able to update the Table Checkpoint... Thus, I have to delete, and create the same Table Checkpoint with the new column header.



    Regards, 



    Guillaume.
